EFFECTIVENESS OF MATHEMATICS LABORATORY ON ACHIEVEMENT OF 7TH STANDARD STUDENTS

Mathematics is the cradle of all creations, without which the world cannot move an inch. According to NCF-2005, “Children learn to enjoy mathematics rather than fear it.Mathematics Laboratory is place where set of activities,puzzles and games based on mathematical concept introduced to students. Present study is concerned with the development and implementation of Learning Material for Mathematics Laboratory which will produce above benefits to the students. The major objective of the study was to measure the effectiveness of Mathematics Laboratory on achievement of 7th Standard Students. Quasi Experimental method was adopted for the present study. In this study, non-randomized two group pretest-posttest design was used. Achievement test is prepared to find the achievement of the 7th Standard Students on use of Mathematics Laboratory.The data collected from achievement test was analyzed by employing Mann Whitney U test.The major finding of study was Mathematics Laboratory facilitates in improving achievement of the 7th Standard Students in mathematics subject.
